So last Saturday, I really wanted to check out some Premier League stadiums before the new season kicks off. Heard about this Premier League clubs map thing online but had zero clue how to use it properly. Took me a whole afternoon to figure it out – gonna spill exactly how I did it step by step.
Step 1: Finding That Damn Map
First things first, I grabbed my laptop and just typed “premier league stadiums map” into Google. Scrolled past a bunch of ads and junk sites until I spotted one that looked clean and simple. Didn’t even register or sign up – just clicked it open right away. Saw dots scattered all over England popping up on the screen. Tried clicking Manchester but nothing happened. Got annoyed till I noticed tiny club badges over each dot – that’s when I realized it was interactive.
Step 2: Messing With The Map Controls
Next, I hovered my mouse over Liverpool’s badge and boom! A box popped up showing Anfield’s picture with seating capacity and address. Scrolled my mouse wheel like crazy to zoom into London – the map got super detailed showing streets around Stamford Bridge. Dragged the map sideways to check Arsenal’s Emirates Stadium nearby. Almost screwed up when I accidentally tapped the reset button, but found the zoom buttons on the top-left corner saved me. Protip: Always use those +/- buttons unless you wanna start over like I almost did.
Step 3: Planning My Route
Okay, now for the useful bit. I decided to hit three stadiums in one trip. Clicked Tottenham’s badge first, then hit some “directions” button beside the address. Typed my hometown postcode – watched a blue line snake from my place to North London. Took a screenshot with my phone. Repeated this for Chelsea and West Ham locations. Saw overlapping routes and realized I could group all three into one trip instead of zigzagging. Spent 20 minutes adjusting until the map showed the smartest driving loop. Didn’t trust it fully though – cross-checked with Google Maps afterward just in case.
Final thoughts? This map’s decent for quick glances but super basic. Doesn’t show parking spots or matchday crowds like those stadium tour sites. Still, for free stuff? Solid 7/10. Already used it to annoy my mate Dave about visiting Old Trafford next month. He still hasn’t replied though – typical.
